After learning the group is going into the marsh Sovereign will try to escape at night
If her stealth beats observers perception she manages to flee but will be the high perception encounter below
Cart strugles off road. Crocodiles lurks nearby, following, waiting for a slip or stragler.

Petrified Encounters
Night 2 find stone statues of frogs and lizards in beautiful detail
Day 3 find a stone crocodile mid attack, unsure what it was attacking
Nights 4 & 5
Poor perception, next morning while packing up find a stone turtle on the edge of camp that wasn't there before
High perception, hear a scream in the distant. investigating reveals a stone statue of a heavily wounded man, large holes pierce his chest in vivid detail, reviving him results in him bleeding out and dying. DC 15 Medicine will reveal he's already dead or seconds away from it.
High Alternate, hear Sovereign shouting, large flashes of green and fire then silence. Investigating shows sovereign frozen in place, with signs of using disintergration and fire spells, thankfully due to humidity and dampness the fire did not light and travel.
Night 6, find a small clearing, as group is eating hear a hissing from behind a large object. Hydra encounter.
Day 7, Howlester Castle.

Initial encounter A large boney serpent head emerges from the marsh after finding stone figures, hopefully tricking players into thinking it's a basilisk, dealing 50 damage makes the head fall limp and start sinking into the marsh, 30 or more in a single turn kills the head and it sinks into the marsh.
After the head sinks back 6-12 seconds pass before six heads burst from the water and the body emerges.

HP 250 | AC 18 | Heads 6
Hold Breath. The hydra can hold its breath for 1 hour.
Multiple Heads. The hydra has five heads. While it has more than one head, the hydra has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious. Whenever the hydra takes 30 or more damage in a single turn, one of its heads dies. If all its heads die, the hydra dies. At the end of its turn, it grows two heads for each of its heads that died since its last turn, unless it has taken fire damage since its last turn. The hydra regains 15 hit points for each head regrown in this way.
Reactive Heads. For each head the hydra has it gets an extra reaction that can be used only for opportunity attacks.
Wakeful. While the hydra sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.
Multiattack. The hydra makes as many bite or grapple attacks as it has heads, one attack can be a breath attack
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: (1d10 + 5) piercing damage.
Grapple. DC15 Dex or Str save to escape at end of turn, the head cannot make another grapple but can bite or use breath on following turns that auto hit.
Boiling Breath (Recharge 2). The Hydra exhales an boiling blast of water in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Huge (15ft x 15ft) stone spider over a stone hut with a part of it blown open.
Something has setup camp, stringing cloth between the legs to create a barrier.
Investigating reveals a very old campsite, everything in camp has rotted away or been overgrown, spider itself has lots of cracks, the abdomen has fallen off and mostly sunk into the swamp.
Spider 100 to 500 years. Campsite within 50 years

Used to be Narkul's personal castle/home but sunk into the Marsh long ago.
